The organize-a-game thread

[ryguy 10]

OK I searched around and didn't see anything like this so here's the idea behind this: If you want to set up a gamespy mission/Coop/PvP but nobody is joining your session fast enough, post up here to organize informal game play. This should work out so that people post the name of the session/mission and other post if they're joining. Good idea?

[Jelliz 10]

Good idea, why not post this in the multiplayer section?

[ryguy 10]

Gah, maybe an admin could move it...

Currently have a session up. Playing Coop Oi! an Ambush. Session name, filter serverz

The Casual ArmA Players forum group is just for that:

Hmm... that looks like a group with a bunch of threads, this would just be a simple "post-up if you want to play a game right now for some fun."

Whenever I try hosting a session nobody join so this should be somewhat handy :)

So... are you playing? I'm up for a game. :)

[ryguy 10]

Cool... filter the server name "serverzz" the mission is called Oi! Ambush

Hey, just thinking here. There is no tool for seeing the demand of players for a type of game in the server browser. BIS, could you put up a roster/poll/table of some sort here in the forums for people looking for a game? Just looking at the server list and not wanting to enter a game with one player, I thought 'Hmmm. how many others are staring at this same list this very instant?" There's no public place to organize a game or a group in real time.

Want to bring this forum to life?

Up at the top have a banner listing people looking for a type or game, inside the type, show groups sorted by their location (USA, Europe, Australia) and allow people to suggest a server... If GameSpy could do the same thing inside the server browser, you would see MANY more people inside the servers. This game is like no other, it is unique, and needs a unique system. In COD you can just pick up and run in a game, ArmA takes organization and effort, people coming in and dropping out shakes things up more than anything, and makes the experience not 'worth it'. Getting a good group in clean is a very good start. What say you?

I'm playing DM Dogfight on a temporary session... anyone wanna join?

[ryguy 10]

I'm about to host a game with the 4 player MP mission "just a patrol"

Server will be called ryguy

[ryguy 10]

Who's up for some AAS??

Server is called "Ryan", or you can just filter for mission aas

How about a Steam / Xfire / ICQ / MSN channel for scheduling quick missions?

[ryguy 10]

Yea, except you don't have the possibility of having 100+ people seeing the thread. Besides, I don't have any friends that play arma 2 on Xfire.
